Licensed Exotic Bird Breeders | Hand Raised Parrots & Finches

Welcome to Birds Theory

Birds Theory is a family-owned and operated exotic bird specialty facility built on trust, care, and a lifelong passion for birds. Over the years, our family business has grown alongside loyal customers who appreciate our friendly atmosphere and personalized service. We take pride in offering a remarkable variety of exotic species, including African Greys, Amazons, Caiques, Conures, Cape Parrots, Cockatoos, Macaws, and many more that bring color and joy to every home.

Beyond our larger parrots, we also lovingly raise smaller birds such as Finches, Canaries, Parrotlets, and Cockatiels. Our fully licensed facility in Bloomington, Illinois, is where all our baby birds are hand-raised, nurtured, and socialized with care. Each bird is abundance-weaned, fully fledged, and comfortable with both people and other birds, ensuring they grow into healthy, confident companions ready to connect with their new families.

We take pride in raising happy, healthy, and well-cared-for birds in a nurturing environment built on compassion and responsibility. Our breeding facility is designed to provide a safe, clean, and stimulating space where every bird thrives under attentive care. From canaries and finches to parrots and budgies, each one is thoughtfully raised and socialized to promote excellent health and temperament.

We are committed to ethical breeding practices and strict hygiene standards, ensuring the highest level of welfare for every bird in our care. Our mission is to share knowledge, encourage responsible avian companionship, and help more people appreciate the unique beauty and personality of these incredible creatures.

Caring for birds is more than a passion—it’s a lifelong dedication to their happiness, health, and harmony with humans.

Since day one Gregory was awesome, I was between a Blue Headed Macaw and a Blue Fronted Amazon, but for a family dynamic the Macaw was the best decision for us and the communication was and still is great very quick to respond the experience in general has been great, we are in love with the new member of our family she is lovely and can’t wait continuing building memories with her. Thank you Birds Theory for all your team and amazing work.

I have been eagerly awaiting my African Grey baby, and he has been such a lovely addition to my home! I couldn’t ask for a healthier or more well-adjusted parrot! He is nothing short of AMAZING! Despite being so young, he’s already talking, whistling and laughing! He even loves sitting on his play station and watching my remote patient interactions over my shoulder! I already am not sure how I “did” life before him! Gregory and the dear lady who handfed him, even the driver who dropped him off, are amazing people and obviously love and are passionate about these babies!! Thanks a million you guys!! I’ll forever be grateful!! 🙏🏼☀️

We got our African Grey Parrot, Echo from Birds Theory. and it was the best experience. We were a bit skeptical as it was all done online but they sent videos and pictures every week during the process. Everything was easy going and we couldn’t be happier.

I had been looking for the right parrot companion for months before I came across this site. I finally decided on a Senegal parrot, and I couldn’t be happier. The ordering process was smooth, and I was kept updated every step of the way. When the bird arrived, he was calm, curious, and already showing signs of bonding with me. He stepped right out of his travel crate without fuss. Within just a week, he was mimicking little sounds around the house and loves sitting on my shoulder while I work. I was nervous about ordering a parrot online, but this experience really put me at ease. The paperwork was in order, the bird was healthy, and the customer support was reassuring. I feel like I’ve gained a little feathered family member 🥰.

    I bought two ring necks from Birds Theory both were very healthy and beautiful addition to our family!
    Anna is very knowledgeable and continues to give advice and support years after I brought them home!
    I would highly recommend Birds Theory!

    I purchased a Moluccan Cockatoo from Gregory, and it was the most pleasant experience. The bird I received was happy, healthy, and full of personality. He didn’t take long at all to warm up to me and already shows a strong love for fresh fruits and vegetables.

    After being scammed previously, I was extremely nervous about purchasing another bird, but Gregory’s kind and reassuring personality immediately put me at ease and made me feel confident in my decision. I truly couldn’t be happier and highly recommend him to anyone looking to add a parrot to their family.

    I recently got a Moluccan Cockatoo from Birds Theory and couldn’t be happier with my decision! He arrived in excellent physical condition, and I was informed he had all the necessary vaccinations. To be extra cautious, I took him to my regular avian vet and received a clean bill of health.

    It’s been a few weeks now, and I can confidently say he has been adjusting beautifully to his new home. His personality is already shining through, and he’s been a joy to have around. Anna was incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions promptly, which made the entire process smooth and reassuring. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to add a parrot to their family.
